why, gentlemen said she, I'VE have &C
tually received repeated offers of $50, 900 for
this property, and have held it all along to
be worth every cent of $4,000"
That night, as the husband entered his
home, he said: Il was sorry to-day, Mary,
but those gentlemen had some downtown
engagement, so that they could not come
out"

wife
II said those gentlemen couldn't come

But they did, though, and l tell YOU l

both hands and yelled: Mary, you have
undone me completely. You have been

WIGS.
Their Introduction Into England and
Some of Their PecuIiarities.

some OF Ihe1r PeCullarities.
The periwig which had been long used in
France, was introduced into England soon
after the Restoration. The ladies wore their
hair curled and frizzed with the incest art,
and they frequently set it off with artificial
curls called heart breakers" After the
Restoration it was natural for the cOurtiers
TO assume an appearance as distinct as posi-
bic from the enemies of the monarchy, and
in opposition to the short hair of the
Roundheads they heightened the perwig
to the waist. 1t is easy to see that in many
cases It was necessary to cOntine the hair
of these wigs. That it was first confined by
persons in military capacity appears by the
names which wigs tied back had. A full wig
tied back in one curl is a Major" in two curls
a 'Brigadier," and plated into curl below
the ribbon was "Ramilie ~ and thus the
physicians and the lawyers became possessed
of the I've" Hogarth, who lived during
the time of the wig epidemic, satirized the
fashion in print called The Five Orders
of PeriWigs Measured Archtectonically.
But there were certainly more than five or
ders. We have the parsons wig, the legal
wig, the aldermanic wig, the episcopal wig
the composite wig, the bag wig, the wig in
folio: the full-buttoned wig, the pigtail wig,
the Ramilie, the scratch wig, etc. Fenitut
de Einces says that Wig in folio cost 900
French crowns. The full wig of an English
gentleman varied in price from thirty to
forty guineas. 1t is, therefore, not surpris-
ing that the swell mob of the wig period
tried to possess themselves of such costly ar
ticles. Their mode Of operations is thus de-
scribed by Sam Rogers: "A small boy was
carried, covered ever in butchers tray, by
a tall man, and the wig was twitched off in
a moment by the boy. The bewildered
owner looked all around for it, when an &C
complete impeded his progress under the
pretense of assisting him while the tray
bearer made off" Gay, in his "Trivia," had
already given the following warning con-
corning wigs:
Not is the 1aXen wig with safety worn:
